Battle of Chavignon

The Battle of Chavignon (13 June 1918) was a battle of World War I that occurred when the Imperial German Army attempted to break through Allied positions at Chavignon during its Spring Offensive. The Germans failed in their attempt to seize the Allied trench, forcing them to withdraw to their own trench; the Allied counterattack failed to acquire a foothold, and the Allies were also forced to retreat. Nevertheless, Chavignon was a strategic failure for the Germans, who were now back where they started.
